Cake Tin Size & Baking Tips :
1) While using 3/4 cup or less than 3/4 cup all purpose flour (maida), prefer 4 inches tin.
2) While using 3/4 cup to 1 cup maida, prefer 6 inches tin.
3) When you use 1.5 cup to 2 cup all maida, prefer 8 inches tin.
4) Using 8 inches tin gives a very flat cake, it doesn't look as professionally baked cake once icing is done.
5) Using 6 inches tin will also give a flat cake, single layer icing icing can be done on this cake.
6) Using 4 inches tin will give a good height to cake and you can make 2 icing layers with it.
7) 1/2 kg cake can be baked in 4 inches tin and also in 6 inches tin.
(Height enhances beauty of the cake, 4 inches tin is advisable for professional baking)
8) 1 kg cake can be baked in 6 inches tin, it contains 400 - 500 gm sponge, to be made with more than 1 cup maida.
9) 1.5 - 2 kg cake to be baked in 8 inches tin, use 1.5 - 2 cup maida and your sponge is aaprox. 800 - 900 gm
10) Use 6 inches tin while baking cake at home, it is suitable for household cake baking.
(4 inches tin is not easily available in the market)
11) Beginners should start baking with 6 inches traditional alluminium tin.
12) Silicon moulds are not advisable for cake baking as it can be baked uneven.
Hope these tips are useful for all the Passionate Cake Bakers.
